Who does this??????

is what I asked myself when I woke up on Friday! I do--is how I answered!!!

Now, to answer your questions...yes, I know what your thinking!!

1. The B & B--Well......it's Alaskan! What that means is-- it's kinda like the UP on steroids!!!!

It's a big house 5 bedrooms-- 3 or 4 baths--I been afraid to explore too much!! It's clean and full of tacky knick-knacks...that was totally expected!!

2. Yes, I have met Andrew..he is very nice and has great stories! He came home shortly after I arrived and was very helpful. He took me to get my car Friday morning and showed me where Walmart was--the cheapest place in town!!

Andrew works (bartender) at The Captain Cook Hotel--owned by a former governor--GOP too! So all of the political stuff for Alaska take place there. What I'm leading up to is that he has waited on Sarah...yes, that Sarah--Palin numerous times!! Just last night there was a huge event for the 50th year of Statehood (yes, sadly but true, Alaska is younger than some of us) and Sarah was there in her full glory, wearing a red dress, hair to her shoulders...looking beautiful---according to Andrew!!!

Andrew has been very helpful--he grew up here and knows important stuff!!!!!!

3. Everything is outrageously expensive--at least a buck more for every day stuff!
Gas--$4.00 a gallon--but why Sarah???
Breakfast out--$8-$12 bucks

4. Denise--the owner of the B & B isn't back from her trip so I have not met her yet--she left me the key under a ceramic rabbit!

5. Most people love Sarah--sad but true...and I don't know why--yet!

more to follow...
